My original point ( poorly stated ) was that an awful lot of ridership on Waterloo routes appears to be students, and they have a much-reduced population over the Summer months. So it follows that those student-centric routes might be prudently run at lower frequency until they return, no matter that it troubles me.
I do appreciate your point of view. There is a cost to cost-savings measures like this all the same, and it does me good to be reminded of it.
Heh, I also end up biking a great deal more which is, at least for me, a good thing.
Yeah, the student population is reduced substantially, although I'm pretty sure the GRT reduction follows highschool students, which is strange, given they're not leaving the city, and are probably more likely to rely on transit for summer jobs than for school.
Who knows.
